A man from Tennessee just broke the blue catfish state record he established last year with a 122-pound catch. His record is 21 pounds away from the world blue catfish record.
On average, blue catfish are less than two feet in length, though some can grow to five feet, according to the NOAA.
In terms of appearance, blue catfish are silvery-blue in color with a white belly, and they have smooth skin that lacks scales, according to the NOAA. The species can also be identified by their flat dorsal fins, deeply forked tails and four pairs of black whisker-like barbels around their mouths.Blue catfish have become a popular game fish because the species has been shown to be"strong,""savvy" and"a good challenge," according to the NOAA.
